- Sinéad O’Connor performs an a cappella version of the hymn ‘Make Me a Channel of Your Peace’.
To promote a fundraiser for the charity Cradle, which help children and refugees displaced from the Yugoslavian war, five celebrities agree to undergo a makeover.
‘Head to Toe’ presenter Pat O’Mahony is given the grunge look. Model and presenter Michelle Rocca sports a 1970s outfit. ‘Fair City’ actress Caroline Rothwell becomes an Italian 1950s starlet. Singer Sinéad O’Connor is transformed into a goddess and singer with The Dubliners Ronnie Drew is remodelled as a distinguished gentleman.
Despite her atypical attire, Sinéad O’Connor accepts the request to sing a song. Unaccompanied, she performs the hymn ‘Make me a Channel of Your Peace’. This is an adaptation of an anonymous text known as the ‘Prayer of Saint Francis’. The melody for this hymn was composed in 1967 by South African songwriter Sebastian Temple.
This episode of ‘The Late Late Show’ was broadcast on 26 March 1993. The presenter is Gay Byrne. - Zábava
Beautiful words by St Francis of Assisi. Rest in peace Sinead
Sim, descanse em paz.
Ditto💜💜💜💜💜
Really profound. I used to sing this in primary school and the words had nowhere near as much of an impact on me as they do now.
What a song choice !
Once upon a time, a beautiful soul came down to earth to grace us with this soul-piercing performance of truth. True story. Thank you, Sinead xo
She’s an anti Irish ☘️ yok gook her ohh and she turned her back on Jesus
No instruments. Just pure Sinead. Absolutely beautiful. 🩷
❤ 👍
Don't you mean just pure NUTS.
@@thewholetruth5473 you are the nut, Troll .
Sinead is well loved, unlike your crap attitude.
Go away troll.
Absolutely stunningly beautiful woman with raw talent you don't see too much anymore.
Are you nuts? It's seem so.@@thewholetruth5473
Speaking as someone who went to Catholic school and sang this song many times as a child, this was chilling. Rest in peace to this angel.
Agreed
I know why I always liked this song! Especially in these times. Wow!
Here for the same reason.
It will be a year since she’s been gone. You are missed and will always be loved.♥️♥️♥️♥️
Nobody can sing an old Irish folk/rebel song like Sinead did and can, for all her wild ways she is a person of peace and the greatest kindness to others hurt and in needed
It’s a Catholic hymn.
@@SalvadorDantes Sinead was a catholic and she is now in heaven with her son, mother, all her family and friends who passed on before her,
The song originates from France not Ireland 🤷
Does "Make me a channel of your peace" sound like an Irish rebel song to you 😂
@@suzc4076 You misunderstood what I said completely, I was not referring to this song
RIP to an incredibly talented, courageous, and dedicated human rights advocate.
A real muslim could not be a dedicated human rights advocate.
I know nothing about Islam or moslems but i like to think the vast majority are peace-loving xx mol xx
And as for human rights advocacy - once again humanity is stripping the most vulnerable of its members of their most basic right (the Right to Life) which has now become a privilege (no longer a "right") a privilege granted to the unborn by mothers and a privilege afforded to the old, infirm, disabled and unwanted - by doctors who decide who shall and who shall be put on life support (and for how long.) Religion is no longer the most relevant factor when quality & quantity of life are based on human privilege rather than the Creator, God.
Typo: it is doctors who decide who shall and who shall NOT be placed on life support. And the duration of that life support, if given. Likewise, it was doctors who master-minded the holocaust in the death camps of ww2.
I full agree with you but I will add a very holy person and God is very pleased with Sinéad work on earth, she is now in heaven with her son, mother and all family and friends who went a head of her
her voice was so perfect. Totally raw and unfiltered, but nevertheless sounded angelic and crystal clear!
Sim, uma voz de cristal.
You are right… unbelievably pure and perfect
I’ve never seen this. Holy crap. I already knew that her pitch. It’s perfect. And I’ve always loved the tone of her voice. But my God, millions of people could not sound as good as her, even with the best engineers and the latest version of autotune, L O L. She really really had some thing.
Rest in peace.
And she was a heavy smoker all her life (the thing that finished Whitney's voice) if you can believe that. Shocking but true. Lots of photo evidence for it online too.

😢I hope she has that Peace now! What a beautiful artist and great loss to all Irish people. Very sad but a truly Great Soul❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😢😢😢
Sinead was one of the rarest beauties in history. Makeup and wigs really detracted from her natural beauty. Nothing could detract from the beauty of her voice. Or the beauty of her soul.
I beg to differ. I think she should have tried makeup and wigs more often.
2023-07-26 Rest in peace, Sinead. I hope you find the quiet rest you should have enjoyed in life.
Sing - "Anything at all, Sinead, that would be nice" - this is why I love the Irish.
What an amazing voice she has truly beautiful whatever her struggles her vocal ability has always remained intact
She was not only gifted, but beautiful! May she RIP💐🌹☘️
She was.❤❤❤
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there is doubt true faith in You
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is dispair in life let me bring hope
Where there is darkness let me bring light
And where there's sadness ever joy
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in giving to all man that we receive
And in dying that we are born to eternal life
As a muslim I say Aameen to this prayer. And the master is indeed God the only one
Thank you
This has me in pieces. 😪💔 All she ever wanted was peace and understanding. May she rest in peace.
It's a truly lovely sentiment from a wonderful singer. But in my 73 years, I've never understood why we need a Master or a God to give us *his* peace to channel. If we can find it within ourselves, through meditation or whatever works for us, then perhaps we might have something really valuable to share. Just saying... 😇
Thank you
Never heard a more beautiful rendition of this
susan boyle sings it better
True! ❤
She has an incredible quality and presence to her voice. What a talent… I’m so sad
What a voice, what a woman. Full of grace. God love her, ‘cos we did❤️
This is a song that I have sung at church. It is truly excellent to hear the late Sinead O’Conner singing what is known as”The Prayer of St.Francis.”God Bless her soul forever!!!…Karl Schumaker 🙏🙏🙏
Sinead O’Conner also deserves prayers for the repose of her soul,for there were times(like when she tore up a picture of Pope St.John Paul II on Saturday Night Live)In when the Catholic Church had frowned upon things that she had either done or said.May God forgive her,for she knew not what she had done!!!…Karl Schumaker 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@Paul-sl9zm
No. The catholic church accepts child molestation and child abuse.
It is part of the doctrine. It is ingrained.
@@karlschumaker
I cheered when she tore up that photo of a paedophile protector and supporter.😡
@@karlschumakerShe knew EXACTLY what she was doing and we know EXACTLY why she did it. So many years down the road it was proven she was the righteous one. RIP, Legend.
@@orangepets This is a time when you have
What a beautiful voice from a true legend that is Sinead O'Connor.
her beauty makes the makeup wig and dress look ridiculous, it all pales into insignificance when you regard the true and soulful gorgeousness that shines out of her. Oh love we won't forget you xx
That brought a tear to my eye... RIP Sinead, Bless your soul ❤️❤️❤️
She looked particularly stunning and my goodness, what a beautiful gift of a voice she had. May she rest easy.
incredible. the control. i mean this is flawless. She is so missed
There is peace where you have shown us. Thank you. Rest in peace child of the infinite.
Beautiful. I hope she has found peace.
The Irish songbird..really exceptional!!☘️🦋🍀
An absolute legend.. our beautiful Sinead
Sinead's a cappella Irish Ways and Irish Laws is amazing. RIP Sinead.
I loved 1st and 2nd Grade in Catholic grammar school. We went to Mass every Friday, then it was lunch, and then Art 🎨!!!!!!!!! I thought that was just the best day ever. No matter how bad the week was, Friday was always great !!!!!!!! The best part about being in 1st or 2nd Grade was that they filled the first front row pews of the church. If you were lucky enough to be the 6th person in line, you would be in the very first pew on the end of the aisle in church. That meant you were closest to the altar and would be the first one out in line for communion !!!!!!!!!!!! We always sang these old fashioned songs 🎵 from the old misselettes. I loved this song and Were You There When They Crucified My Lord. Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace was never more beautiful than this rendition by Sinead !!!!!!!!!!!!!! She literally sings like an angel !!!!!!!!! Why she was not given more credit for her talent and accomplishments is unbelievable !!!!!! I have loved her music since the early 90's when I first discovered her songs at City Gardens, Trenton, NJ !!!!!!!!!!!!! Her legacy of shining light in the darkness, will never be forgotten. Anyone who has been shut out, or left to survive on their own, only need listen to her profound combination of songs !!!!!!!!!! She was bold and brave in the face of all intense adversity !!!!!!!! I would consider her a Modern Day Saint !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you remember Sinéad ripping up the picture of pope John Paul 2, she was exposing the RCC ( not the deceived catholic people) for all the pain, suffering and death they have been responsible for. The dark ages, the holy wars, the inquisition, the crusades..75 million true Bible believers slaughtered by the RCC( low estimate). The modern day Vatican is responsible for drug trafficking, human trafficking, the Jesuit army( read their oath), controlling the federal reserve, money laundering, controlling banks and governments. The evil is unspeakable.
❤she is soo beautiful
This prayer of St. Francis song has been in my heart since I first learned it at catechism. Sinead is born to eternal life now. I feel blessed by her voice singing from her heart as always. ❤
You really think so? Jesus said " I am the truth, the light, and the way.". She rejected The Holy Trinity for a false god, a demon
Her soul suffered enough here on earth …. The God I know and love has mercy and I know she is in eternity. Who are you to judge?
Amen 🙏…. RIP beautiful soul , may the angels and martyrs greet you and welcome you into paradise where every tear will be wiped from our eyes.
Amazing voice may Sinead rest in peace
forever in our hearts Sinead 😇😇😇 1966-2023
Absolutely beautiful. RIP Sinead ❤❤❤❤
She lived those lyrics ❤ the pain she knew
She was a spirit of strength and this conveys through her eyes and her powerful stature. She was born to send a message through her voice and presence. ❤
My God she was beautiful
I love that hymn. Always brings tears to my eyes. RIP beautiful soul.
She was too good for this world.❤️💕💐
Absolutly.
She had very special soul and amanzing voice.

Chills, multiple times 😌 Her voice is so haunting. I have never seen her with long hair and I know this was a wig but she is even more stunning than she was with a shaved head. She was just a beautiful human.
Какая красивая Шинейд.. Царствие небесное😢
Breathtakingly beautiful. RIP Angel...
You rest in peace, darling. The world didn't deserve you!
The most talented, fragile and strong person. You’ll be missed.
Drop dead gorgeous.....
Sing In Eternal Peace, Sinead!
wow never knew how incredible she looked w makeup! and hair!
Even here, you can see the deep unhappiness.
The words of this song need to be written on her grave stone. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🌷🌷🎵🎵
Rest in Peace 🕊️ Beautiful Earth Angel. Now,a Heavenly 💜✨💖✝️ Angel. You are so loved. This song is so beautiful 😍❤️
This is one of my favorite songs of all time…. I have heard countless versions… and this is my new favorite. I love how it highlights her talent.
Bringing back all my Catholic school days. Stirring words by one of my fave Saints and moving presentation by one of my fave voices.
A channel of peace indeed my dear. RIP in the eternal love your tried to bring on earth. 💜
Despite the turmoil around her she seemed a beautiful soul. Peace
Such an a amazing voice
Exquisite! RIP dear lady.
Blown me away. Haunting beautiful. RIP beautiful lady.
I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know of her brilliance before her death but I do now .... My hero... I love you and I always will ❤
Oh wow! This hymn 'Prayer of Saint Francis' takes me back to my days in school. Beautiful words, Beautiful voice. May you rest in eternal peace.
A beautiful, stunning, performance by a great artist.
We used to sing this song during Mass as children at my elementary/junior high school, St. Francis of Assisi, in Warwick, RI, now closed, sadly. Also, our priest, the late Reverend Timothy J. Gorton, died too young at the age of 65. I remember just one homily of his, and only an incomplete portion thereof: he was commenting, as priests do during he homily, on the day's Gospel reading, which had had to do with the end of the world, and Fr. Gorton said that in addition to the actual expectation of the eventuality of the end of the world, the passage could also be interpreted to address apocalypses, lowercase "a," of a more personal nature -- the death of loved ones, the discovery that one has terminal cancer, and the multitude of other problems that can shatter the pillars of a person's world. The need to rely on Christ was the same whether the apocalypse one faced was the Second Coming foretold in Revelations or the sort of catastrophe that besets people every single day. Fr. Gorton would have given this homily somewhere around the year 2000. I think it impressed me and stuck in my head because I had the unmistakable sense that he knew whereof he spoke.
In 2012, Fr. Gorton's nephew, Jamie Wilkinson, accused him of having molested him on two occasions in a church, sometime during the 80's. Fr. Gorton was defrocked and forbidden to perform priestly functions like Masses and such. Since Mr. Wilkinson accused Fr. Gorton after the statue of limitations had run out, Fr. Groton did not face charges, though Mr. Wilson had brought them to the police.
The priest I knew was a warm, caring, wise and trustworthy father figure. Still, he did something with me most people today would consider questionable at best: he invited me as a boy alone into his rectory to chat for an hour here and there during school hours. He never did hurt me. On the contrary, I felt perfectly safe and happy to talk to him one-on-one. He told me of his diabetes and the possibility that a toe or foot or something might someday have to be amputated. He also give me an issue of "Vocations" magazine. Come to think of it, I may have told him at the time that I'd been thinking of the priesthood, and he may have offered to chat more about it; nurturing possible vocations, in my experience from my bygone Catholic days, is not an unusual preoccupation of those who have themselves made religious vows.
I believed then, and I continue to believe now, that Fr. Gorton was, at bottom, the kind, caring, and fatherly man he presented himself to be. Did he do what his nephew accused him of? I wouldn't know but I rather believe Mr. Wilkinson, if for no other reason than he sounded sincere in his interview with a local paper. If Fr. Gorton did commit these acts, I neither exonerate nor condemn him. For one, the burden of this falls mainly on the victim, and on God, if you believe in God, and not on the multitude of very slightly, tangentially affected third parties like myself. For another, my experiences of Fr. Gorton make it impossible for me to reduce the complexity of the man (what little I saw of it, anyway) to either to devil or angel. He was something in between those extremes: human.
Fr. Gorton died on June 18, 2021, the day President Biden signed the law that elevated Juneteenth to the status of federal holiday, and two days before Father's Day, in the same hospice where my grandmother died 406 days later at the age of 92.
This Prayer of St. Francis recalls moments of happiness, warmth and peace in that place, that St. Francis of Assisi Church, now hidden irrevocably behind the curtain of time. Fr. Gorton was one but nevertheless an essential reason for the warmth, peacefulness and togetherness I felt when I sang that song in church alongside my classmates beneath the sunlight that penetrated the stained glass windows and covered the assembly with their brightly colored hues, and in that atmosphere smelling always faintly of incense and fresh flowers.
Were I still Christian today, I might end this by saying Jesus had made Fr. Gorton a channel of His peace for me. I don't believe in an afterlife, but as I face the sadness of the past I hope Fr. Gorton found peace in this life and got to keep it in his heart until the very end.
Beyond the makeup and the wig there is that voice the soul source of her human being that shines on
Rest beloved angel. Thank you.
Beautiful voice and her beauty always mesmerised me as well. Singing with the angels now RIP.
1:42 Sinead looked absolutely beautiful in wig. The makeup was just flawless
I recognize the voice,and beautiful eyes
One heart singing. Perfect pure voice. ❤
I’ve never heard this hymn sung so beautifully ❤❤❤
This made me cry- Sinéad❤What A BEAUTIFUL Soul. You sang this from your heart-SO SWEETLY. Amazing! Gorgeous Delivery Always. Rest in Peace Irish Angel❤
Beauty in voice, body and spirit. World lost a warror today
A True Martyr was Sinead O'Conner. Suffered through much of her life never abandoning the Love she held for ALL. Only in death is she now acknowledged for her Goodness.
such fleetingly bright star in the dark night skies...gone but never forgotten
She's so gorgeous here, RIP Sinead
Beautiful....♥️🙏🎶 Praying u found peace...close to your son in n heaven.😇😇
Why Sinead O'Connor died? She not dead here in 1993.
@@jimhults4916 do you read papers?
This is beautiful. My grandparents were Presbyterian, ancestors Scottish from Nth Ireland, and I remember this hymn so much. Always loved it. Powerful rendition. Gorgeous.
This is a Catholic hymn. Not that I'd have any problems with any Christian using it. The issues it talks of are universal. It's 'The Prayer of St Francis.'
The sentiments of St Francis are universally applicable ❤
Voice of an angel and the emotions ripping us apart
A soul too pure, raw and truthful for this sick world.
Sinead a cappella, just so beautifully mesmerising. Fck, we lost a very special woman, an icon. People should pay more attention. She’s the only ‘celebrity’ that I’ve cried about. I cried for her when she was alive too.
She wasn’t far from me, just down the road in Herne Hill. On her own. Me, a 30 minute taxi away. I can’t bear to think of how sad and hurt and broken and in such pure agony she was that night. That anyone is just so desperate, just wants to exit so much.
I think she would enjoy an artists garden - Monet’s Garden, look it up on here. I think she would love the tranquility. Just sit there, with her guitar. I’m half Scottish , half Irish, and one day quite soon, I will lay flowers and a gift on her grave. ❤
Hairs stood up on my neck, RIP Sinead.
A beautiful soul who fought the good fight. May you rest in eternal peace, love and light.
And this is all Acapella, you can really hear and appreciate the purity of her voice.🌼🌸🌺🌷🌻🌸🌼💯🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹
Brought me tears. RIP, Sinead. May you find your peace in eternal life ❤️
She was gorgeous 😍
Thanks muchly for this upload. Didn't know it, but it's what i've needed since learning of her death. With just her angelic voice, this felt like a true requiem for her. I've never wished for someone to RIP more in my life. For such a beautiful soul, she had some hard times.
Thank you Sinead 😢❤
She was beautiful.

Lord, please receive her soul please 😢
That’s art my god her voice no instruments beautiful you can feel it deep
Peace, the one she craved and never found in life. I miss you, Sinead. Always.
She was stunningly beautiful.
Love that !! RIp courageous woman ❤❤ ❤❤
🌹May you R.I.P Sinéad O’Connor.
That was beautiful .
Such a beautiful, complex soul with so much love...she cared so much and so many couldn't see that and tried to tear her spirit down. Rest in peace now, oh lovely lady.
My favorite hymn and sung in such an achingly beautiful way.❤
one of the most beautiful creatures to grace this planet
Accapella and perfectLy on pitch 👏
